Clinics

Immunisations

These are extremely important. Children are recalled by the local Health Authority computer. If it is more than 10 years since you had a tetanus vaccination you can book an appointment with the practice nurses.

The nurses also give advice about travel vaccinations and administer any necessary injections. However, please ensure that you have your travel vaccinations done six weeks prior to your travel; if the practice is unable to accommodate your needs, we will always signpost you to the newest travel clinic.

We are a Yellow Fever Centre. Please note this is a private service.

Patients Over 75

These patients are offered an annual check-up either in surgery or at home, if you are unable to get to the surgery.

Family Planning

A full service is offered to all men and women. Patients may see a doctor of their choice for this or attend a nurse-run clinic.

Cervical Smears

We encourage all eligible women to attend for this test (which can be life-saving). These are carried out by all doctors and our practice nurses.

Chronic Diseases

Clinics are held at the surgery. Please contact reception to make an appointment.

Maternity Care

Our midwives are based at the Health Centre. In conjunction with the GPs they provided antenatal and postnatal care. Urgent messages for the midwives can be left via the hospital on 01279 444455 ex 7103 during office hours, or ask for maternity bleep out of hours.
Health visitors are also based at the Centre.

Blood Tests

Early morning blood tests are available at the surgery. Please ring to make an appointment. Alternatively, a full service is available at Princess Alexandra Hospital.
